Complete guess? Or educated guess? :)

Please note:  You MUST use parentheses around both the numerator and the denominator (separately) for this question to make any sense/  Mind copying your original post, inserting those parentheses, and then reposting your results?

Well as mathmale has pointed out, as long as the question is truly $\large  f(x) = \frac{x^2+5x-3}{4x-1}$

Then you are most certainly correct :)

mathmale · Answer

Note that the degree of the numerator is 2, whereas that of the denominator is 1.  What does that tell you about the presence or absence of a horizontal asymptote?
